This Rat is Leaving The Lab

My last time for taking anti-depressant/anxiety meds.

So bloody tired

Of my body

Used like a lab rat

In the search

For the right anti-anxiety/depressant med.

 

Have tried it

Your way

With eight different drugs

And various combos

Over the past seven years.

 

Experiencing

Little short term success

Nothing long term

As the drugs are

Too toxic

For my body.

 

And yet

You tell me

To give these meds

More time

Allowing my body

To adjust.

 

At what point

Does my quality of life

Matter to you?

 

If

At all.

 

Take your prescription pad

And shove it

Where the sun

Doesn't shine

Without lube.
